Josh Elliott Replaced By Amy Robach on Good Morning America

Josh Elliott is leaving Good Morning America effective as you read this

. Amy Robach is the new news anchor on the morning program after the network refused to pay Josh what he thought he was worth. Apparently he was making a little over $1M annually and wanted a raise to $10M. ABC felt like they didn't need him that much so he is leaving the show for NBC Sports where he will kick himself everyday. Even though he has a month left on his contract ABC replaced him this morning and forever with Amy Robach who filled in for Robin Roberts during her six month absence from the show. I think this is a good move by ABC. Josh is popular but is he the reason people tune in and watch? The news anchors to me are fairly interchangeable. It is the hosts that get people to watch and I don't think Josh is worth $10M a year. At NBC Sports he is going to do some work for their Sunday night football show and the Olympics and Triple Crown racing, so basically he won't be nearly as visible as a daily M-F gig in front of millions of people. The good news is can sleep in.

see he heard Chelsea Handler ws getting paid $9 million by a teeny network and he wanted his from the big boy network. So NBC has soccer hockey and golf he can announce for and he doesn't have to get up at 3am anymore.

Most anchors replaceable….and he just found out the hard way…if he tried for 2 or maybe 3 mill he could still be there…you don't try for 10x's your salary if don't don't have another offer from someone else that's close to that….another massive ego, who is now bitter & blaming everyone else for their f*ck ups

Wasn't Amy Robach one of Lauer's fuck buddies? Her, and the other girl that came over from MSNBC? Consuelo or something, the one he knocked up? Anyway, Amy quit or got fired from the Today Show and landed at ABC, and her husband divorced her. I really liked Amy until she showed me what a little tramp she is.

He got greedy, and thought (and hoped) he was worth more than he really was. I'm glad ABC didn't cave in to his demands. The fact they showed him the door immediately, speaks volumes about how they feel about him.

Ok, maybe I've got it wrong about Amy. She was divorced from her 1st husband in '09, and I was under the impression it was because hubby found out about her banging Lauer. Others here probably know more about this so I'll just shut up.

Something tells me the astronomical payday was his way of forcing ABC's hand. That was just totally unrealistic.

And I don't even care about that b/c I'm gonna tell myself he left after the Nancy Grace eyeroll-er last week. Trying not to set off my network's flags, but she was going off about Oscar Pistorius looking at adult web sites. Josh looked like, "This fuckin' broad…"

Well I hope Amy's health is up to the challenge. I understand she was given the all-clear from her cancer ordeal, but she'd be best to take things easy for a while in any case. I'm sure her husband (Billy Campbell from Melrose Place is looking after her though).

For me, it's an issue when the people reading the news become the news. There are more than enough autocue readers wiling to take the place of those who become greedy. Why would they up his $ from $1m to $10m … when they could just pay someone $1m for that job, and get nine others onboard at $1m a pop to do nine other jobs? (or even 20 people onboard for $500k which is still insanely good money?). Crazy fellow probably didn't stop to think of that.
